La Gaviota Restaurante, nestled in the stunning Bahía Maguey, stands out as a premier seafood destination that leaves an indelible mark on visitors. With a reputation for excellent service led by owner Gabriel and his attentive team, patrons consistently rave about their dining experiences. The seafood here is unparalleled—Tom Maclean declares it the best place for fish in Huatulco, and highlights the irresistible garlic-dressed Hauchinango and various preparations of octopus and shrimp. A must-try is their innovative baked shrimp and cheese pineapple, a dish that Kyra Carson couldn't resist during a boat tour stop. The ambiance is equally impressive, with breathtaking views just steps from warm waters perfect for snorkeling, making it a paradise for seafood enthusiasts. Bret Campos, a loyal visitor over the past four years, affirms that the combination of exquisite cuisine and world-class scenery keeps him returning. Clean facilities, reliable Wi-Fi, and safe taxi arrangements further enhance the experience, making La Gaviota not just a meal, but a memorable event. Whether you're here for a leisurely lunch or a family feast, every plate served is a testament to the culinary artistry of this gem in Mexico.

La Gaviota is one of the best restaurants to eat in Maguey Beach. Come visit Gabriel and he’ll treat you to an excellent experience. They have Wifi and even will help you grab a safe taxi.

My favorite place to eat fish in Huatulco hands down! Get the dressing on your fish. We came here to eat again before we went to the airport And we left a very happy family. The service is top notch. Also the view is amazing and just steps away from clear, warm water perfect for snorkeling and swimming. If you want excellent seafood, beautiful views and great service then come here!!!

Great place to eat on the beach, good food (my favorite is the Hauchinango with garlic, but the octopus, and shrimp are great too with many different sauce ootions) good service with friendly staff, nice location, and clean bathrooms. also a great place to get your catch from a fishing tour cleaned and served up on a platter prepared as you like. I had my mahi-mahi prepared in 4 different sauces for mt group. go here every vacation multiple times.

Las Gaviotas has the best food in Bahia Maguey. The owner Gabriel and his staff (Carlos and Jose) are always attentive and check on our table every few minutes. We have been coming to this restaurant for 4 years and keep going back it is so good. This place is amazing and the scenery is world class.

Best seafood ever. I love seafood however I am a very picky person when it comes to food. This place fit all my expectations of Authentic Mexican fresh seafood.
